| Summary: | Metahuntemannia triarticulata sp.n., M. arctica sp.n. and M. bifida sp.n. arc described. M. triurficulata and M. arctica belong to the ‘spinosa’ group within the genus Metahuntemannia Smirnov. From the closely related species, M. triarticulata differs in the possession of 3‐segmented Enp P3, M. arctica in the segmentation of the Al, and both new species in the setation of their swimming legs P1–P5. M. hifida belongs to the ‘talpa’ group within Metahuntemannia and differs from the closely related species in the setation of the swimming legs P2–P4. The species relationships and the phylogeny within the genus are discussed. All species were collected at the Iceland‐Faroe Ridge from depths between 435 and 2500 m. |
